Full Paper Preparation and Formatting

Full Paper Formatting instructions

In order to submit to EuroVis 2014, authors prepare their submissions
as a PDF file using the EuroVis 2014 LaTeX2e style (including a document
class, a style file, a sample source file, and a corresponding PDF output
file). Please make sure that an image embedded in your paper does not
contain transparent pixels (i.e., an alpha channel of a transparent color),
because this will lead to problems when the resulting PDF is displayed
or printed.

Submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or
executable programs, up to a limit of 50MB for the entire submission,
including the PDF file. We encourage the use of digital videos to support
paper submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers
interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs
to maximize the chances that the reviewers can see it.

Authors' Guidelines

EuroVis 2014 full paper submissions will undergo a two-stage review
process. The review process is double-blind meaning that submissions must
not reveal the identity of the authors (see below). All full papers
accepted to EuroVis 2014 appear in a special issue of Computer Graphics
Forum, containing the conference proceedings, and will appear at the same
time in the Eurographics digital library.

Note that for each full paper the submission of an abstract is mandatory
by the abstract deadline, with completed papers due on by the full
paper deadline. View the important dates page for details.

All submissions must be original works that have not been published
previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited
book. Concurrent submissions are strictly forbidden. If it is determined
that a manuscript is simultaneously under the consideration by another
publication venue, the manuscript will be rejected.

Full papers will undergo a revision and review cycle after initial
notification of review results in order to ensure they are acceptable
for publication and presentation in the journal. At least one author of
an accepted paper must attend the conference to present the work, and
authors will also be required to present a brief one-minute summary of
their talk at the opening papers preview session.

We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss the novel and
significant contributions as well as place them in the context of prior
art in the field. Authors should highlight how their contributions
differ from previous work and advance the state of the art in
visualization. Among the venues for important prior art are journals
such as Computer Graphics Forum and IEEE Transactions on Visualization
and Computer Graphics as well as conferences like EuroVis, Vis, InfoVis,
VAST, and PacificVis.

EuroVis 2014 uses a double-blind review process for the first review
cycle. Author identities will be hidden from the external reviewers.
Authors should therefore not include their name or institution on the
cover page of the initial submission, and should make an effort to ensure
that there is no self-revealing information in the text. However, you
will still need to provide a complete list of authors when submitting
your abstract so that members of the program committee can avoid
conflicts of interest during reviewer assignment. All authors must be
specified in the submission system (but not in the paper) at the time
of the submission. Adding additional authors after the acceptance of a
paper is not acceptable.

Authors should cite all relevant previous work and clearly explain the
differences between it and their paper, including their own previous
work. Authors should do this in a way that does not reveal which
references are part of their own work. For example, do not write
"In our previous work on foobar [13] ... " and then have "[13] Removed
for blind review" for the citation. Instead, discuss the work in the
third person: "We build on the previous work of Smith et al. [13] ... "
and include the full reference details. If it is impossible to do so,
for instance because the work is submitted or in press but not yet
publicly available, then include an anonymized version of the relevant
document(s) with your submission as supplemental material. Authors
do not include an acknowledgments section in the intitial submission, nor
should they post their submitted manuscript on the web before the
notification date of the first review cycle.

Our conference will adhere to the following ethics guidelines for reviewers,
which can be found here:

STAR Paper Preparation and Formatting

STAR Paper Formatting Instructions

Submissions are limited to a maximum of 20 pages (including bibliography). Â
Authors should prepare their submissions as a PDF file using the EuroVis 2014
LaTeX2e style (including a document class, a style file, a sample source file,
and a corresponding PDF output file).Submissions can also include supplementary
material (in case of videos please use only the most common video codecs to
maximize the chances that the reviewers can see it).
Contributions must be written in English.

Author Guidelines

A state-of-the-art report submitted to Eurovis2014 must be original, unpublished
work. Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted
in a substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be
rejected. Contributions must be presented in English.

At Eurovis 2014, the authors of a STAR will invited to present the report at
a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow
their presentation. We plan to schedule each STAR as a 60-90 minute presentation
as in Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the
EuroVis 2014 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be
given a longer time slot than that for a full paper.

Authors will be encouraged to subsequently submit the STAR as a regular
contribution to Computer Graphics Forum journal.

Open Peer Review Process.

EuroVis 2014 STAR submissions will undergo a one-stage review process. The STAR track encourages an open peer review
process, meaning transparency and disclosure of identities of authors and of those reviewing the submitted proposal.
All STARS accepted to EuroVis 2014 appear in the Eurographics digital library and are fully citable publications.
